Weddings at St Mary’s

…love is patient, love is kind…

(1 Corinthians 13)

Enquiries about weddings are always welcome.

To be married in St Mary’s Church, Rushden, normally one or both of the couple need to reside within the parish boundaries (see the link: Rushden St Mary Parish ) or have a ‘Qualifying Connection’ to the parish.

These qualifying connections need to be confirmed by the Rector, but might include if either of you:

was baptised in the parish

was confirmed in the parish

resided within the parish for six months at a previous time

attended public worship in the parish for at least six months

have a parent whom – during your life – resided and/or attended public worship in the parish for at least six months

have a parent or grandparent who was married in the parish

NOTES

St Mary’s does marry first time divorcees, but only after two years from receiving their ‘Decree Absolute’. Please bring this to first meeting.

We only book weddings up to 24 months in advance. Also note that the first three Saturdays in August and the week between Christmas and New Year are not normally available for weddings.
